Thread: ROR - whats the cost
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheEarthmaster</b></div><div>A first and a good prospect at minimum, which is more or less where all top end TDL assets start. I think the whole "they decide to move him" thing comes with crossing that threshold, otherwise I could see them re-signing him (even if I don't think that's the right decision). I kind of doubt it will have to be this year's first but obviously they'll be gunning for that. And the Blues have a lot of pseudo-top six forward prospects so if I were them I would be targeting someone like Niemela over someone like Robertson.

But if there's several teams interested, it goes up from there. It will be interesting to see how the Horvat thing shakes out and how the markets affect each other.</div></div>

Horvat’s return will definitely impact ROR’s. I imagine Horvat gets a bigger return based off this years play (although I consider ROR the better player overall). And I agree, I think St Louis would definitely prefer a defenceman over a forward in terms of prospects. If Toronto moves a 1st in the deal I doubt they move Niemela on top of it, which sucks for Toronto if St Louis wants a d man on top of the first as their defensive prospect system isn’t very deep after him due to their top d prospects having graduated in the past couple years. The best Toronto has after Niemela is Villeneauve/Kokkonen/Kral, none of which I consider B level prospects

Thread: Meier
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Yeah, but what if a team at the draft was willing to offer the 7th OV pick for example for Meier straight (less than what DeBrincat got). It's going to beat that offer.

The ask for Meier is a 1st and a blue chip prospect if I'm not mistaken. So probably Knies+the 2023 1st, maybe they will allow it to be a 2024 1st idk.</div></div>

Well that would beat the offer but we don’t need to worry about that happening because no team that is projecting to have a top 10 pick is going to trade it.
The way I see it,
Gap between 7th last year and a late first this year is about another late first this year
Early 2nd last draft &lt; Hirvonen (mid 2nd from a couple drafts ago) + Kerfoot
Early 3rd this year &gt; 3rd that Chicago got
Abbruzzese adds a bit of value
So it’s a fairly solid asset behind in value compared to Debrincat trade but it’s not super far behind, and depending on how big the gap in the returns is expected to be between Debrincat and Meier, this might get it done

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>absolutely not,

Mackinnon hates Garland, he would never be allowed to play on the same team as him
that is a gross gross over payment for Domi, such a bad deal for the avs</div></div>

They’re paying for both the money retained (2.25 mil in total) and for the minor upgrade from Compher to Domi. Kaut/Maltsev have little to no value and I just included them to fit under the cap but they realistically could just be placed on waivers.

As for Garland, unless I’m mistaken, it was only one incident of a fight (again, if I’m wrong and there is a clear consistent rivalry between them please tell me). One fight between two guys from over 2 years ago I wouldn’t say prohibits them from being teammates, as we see plenty of former enemies turn teammates and succeed greatly. If Garland really doesn’t work out then a forward similar to Garland (non rental, 4-5 mil cap hit, above average 2nd liner) can be subbed into the deal
